December 12, 2023 (MLN): The federal government has sufficient urea stocks to fulfil the needs of the farming community across the country, Secretary Ministry of Industries and Production Asad Rehman Gilani said while addressing a news conference on Tuesday. 

“In November, the government provided 700,000 additional urea bags to Punjab against its demand; 425,000 bags to Sindh and 18000 MT to Balochistan,” he added.   

He further elaborated that the government provided 414,000 Metric tons (MT) of urea to Punjab against its demand of 380,000 metric tons; 164,000 MT to Sindh against 142,000 MT demand and 30,500 MT to Balochistan against 21,000 MT.

However, 22,600 MT of urea was provided to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) against its 24,900 MT demand, he added.

He said in a categorical term that there was no shortage of urea across the country, as the government made the timely decision and placed an order to import 220,000 metric tons of urea, which would be arriving during the last ten days of the current month.

By January-mid, 220,000 MT stocks of import urea and domestic reserves would be available in the country.
